Fixture Module - Relay

FUNCTION

The FMR1 Fixture Module - Relay is a high quality wire-in
home automation load controller that is capable of turning
120VAC appliances and fluorescent lamps ON and OFF based
on digital commands received over the power wiring from a
remote UPB (Universal Powerline Bus) controller. UPB
controllers and modules can be freely located anywhere
throughout the home. No additional wiring is required and
no radio frequency signals are used for communication.

INSTALLATION

The Fixture Module – Relay is designed for indoor use with
devices that are permanently wired into the home electrical
system. To install the FMR1 module:

1. Locate the device to be controlled. Note that the device

power rating must not exceed 20 amps.

2. Disconnect power at the circuit breaker.

3. Remove any existing ceiling or wall fixture hardware for the

device. Disconnect the black wire that supplies power to
the device.

4. Using a wire nut, connect the black (Line) wire of the

fixture module to the black (Line) power wire.

5. Using a wire nut, connect the red (load output) wire of the

fixture module to the black wire from the lighting fixture or
device being controlled.

6. Using a large wire nut, connect the white (Neutral) wire of

the fixture module to the white (Neutral) power wire and
the white wire from the lighting fixture.

7. Refer to instructions on CONFUGRATION and OPERATION

prior to placing the fixture module in its final location, as it
may be necessary to have access to the Program Switch in
order to add the module to the UPB network and test its
operation. Temporarily restore power in order to perform
these functions. Disconnect power again when finished.

8. Once proper operation is established, fit the module into

the outlet box or otherwise secure it using wire ties or
fitting the nipple into a ½” knockout. Reinstall fixture
hardware as needed.

CAUTION: Do not insert metal objects into the module while it is
connected to power.

Installation Guide and

Fixture Module - Relay

CONFIGURATION

Once your FMR1 is installed it can be configured either
manually or with the UPStart Setup Software.

Manual configuration can be used to add your FMR1 device
into a UPB network and link it to controller buttons. Refer to
the Keypad Controller’s Manual Configuration Guide
available on the PulseWorx website (www.PulseWorx.com)
for more details.

Although the factory default operation of the FMR1 is useful
in many situations, it is highly recommended that your device
be configured with UPStart Setup Software so that you can
take advantage of its many configurable features.

PCS has developed a Powerline Interface Module (PIM) and
free UPB Setup Tool software (UPStart) to help you configure
all of your PulseWorx Lighting System devices. User’s Guides
are available on the PulseWorx web site:
www.PulseWorx.com to explain how to configure your
system.

SETUP Mode

When configuring a UPB system, it will be necessary to place
the FMR1 in SETUP mode. To do this, press the Program
Button (see illustration) five times rapidly using a non­metallic toothpick. The Status LED will continuously blink
Blue when the device is in SETUP mode. To exit SETUP mode,
press the Program Button once or wait five minutes for it to
time out.

OPERATION

The Fixture Module operates according to commands sent by
one or more UPB controllers. The FMR1 can accept powerline
commands from any UPB-compatible transmitter such as
PulseWorx Keypad Controllers, Timed Event Controllers, Wall
Switches, Interface Modules, approved Third-Party
Controllers and touch screens. The FMR1 can be a member of
up to 16 scenes with the capability to store a pre-set relay
state (on, off, or blink) for each scene.

AUTO-OFF Timer

New for Generation 2 is the ability to set a maximum on time.
If you forget to shut the fixture off yourself the fixture module
will do it for you automatically. The FMR1 can be configured
to inform the rest of the network when it has automatically
turned the appliance off. This allows the FMR1 to remotely
control other devices or update feedback indicators such as
LEDs.
